Arrived with low expectations, left completely converted

Nepal wasn't high on my travel list. A friend pushed me to go and I'm genuinely grateful. The first full day in Namche Bazaar reset everything — the scale of Boudhanath Stupa and the quality of the dal bhat were immediate signals that I'd misjudged the place completely.

deeply spiritual atmosphere became my personal highlight of the whole trip. Spent 19 days and could easily have stayed twice as long. Now I tell everyone who'll listen that Nepal is underrated — add it to your list.
